tion in the engine cooling system should:
R be at least 50%. This will protec tthe engine
cooling system against freezin gdown to
approximately -37 †.
R not exceed 55% (antifreez eprotection down
to -45 †). Heat will otherwise not be dissipa-
ted as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor in accordanc ewith MB Spec-
ifications for Servic eProducts 310.1.
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is filled
